Sir:
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 10596 it appears that Peter Dygert was born November 24, 1759 in Palatine, Montgomery County (then Tryon County), New York.
While a resident of said Palatine he enlisted in the fall of 1775 and served at various times, about six months as a private in Captains John Bradbig's and John Tilley's Companies, Colonel Jacob Klock's New York Regiment and in Colonel Brown's New York Regiment, and about eighteen months as battauman under Captain John Leffler (or Leffeller or Lafflear) and Colonel Willett in the New York Troops and was at the battle of Oriskany, the surrender of Saint Johns, and battles of Caughnawaga, Stone Arabia, Turlock ( later Sharen) and Johnstown.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 19, 1832 while a resident of Palatine, New York.
There is no data on file as to his family.
The above noted is the only soldier by that name

(all spellings of the surname searched) found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims , of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Peter Dyger which require further proof or explanation.
 I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides?  II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides?  III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so?  IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? — no  V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service , and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? — no  VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? no  VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832?  VIII. Has the Court given their opinion?  IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate?  X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? 

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service ? XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it ? XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had ? no XIV. † If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service? none If he has produced direct proof as to service, has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses? Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct? XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service ? XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct ? no XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily ? And, if not, which of them is not so answered ? no
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
*QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

State of New York } Montgomery County } ss On the 13 th Day of Aug. 1833, personally Appeared before me a Justice of the Peace of the Town of Palatine County and State Aforesaid, Jacob Snell of the same Town, County. And State Aforesaid, who being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that he has been personally acquainted with Peter Dugger a resident in the Town of Palatine, previous to the Revolutionary War at the commencement, and during the same, until the conclusion of the same and ever since the Revolution, knowing that the Aforesaid Peter Dugger, a Claimant for a Pension has rendered Essential Service to the United States during the whole War.

In his supplementary declaration — And the deponent further saith, that the Abolition has been true friend to the American cause for Liberty, and that where he is known always has been considered a person of strict integrity, truth and veracity, and entitled to full credit when under oath — Subscribed and sworn to before me in this lay and year before and within mentioned — } Jacob Spill

To the Honorable The Commissioner of Pensions Washington D.C.
Sir: Will you please send me a transcript of the record of Peter Deigert soldier in the Revolution of Stone Arabia Montgomery Co New York whom we understood was placed on the pension list in 1833. He was born Nov 21 1759 went into the war at 18 years and served to the end. My grandmother Elizabeth Deigert was his daughter Also my direct ancestor Peter Ehle served in the Revolutionary War, and we think may have applied for a pension. I should be grateful to have any notes from your records of such extent. His address and also that of Peter Deigert may have been given as Fort Plain N.Y.
Very Truly Yours
